The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, designated Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) as a free city, separating it from Germany to ensure access for Poland to the Baltic Sea. Additionally, the Rhineland was to be demilitarized, meaning that Germany was prohibited from stationing military forces in that region, aimed at preventing future conflicts with France. These provisions were part of the treaty's broader goal to limit Germany's power and reduce tensions in Europe following World War I.
France
Yes.
The Rhineland is part of western Germany and lies along Rhine River, and extends west to the borders of Belgium, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. It had been part of France during the Napoleonic wars (late 1790's). It became part of the German state of Prussia in 1815. The land is rich of mineral resources and had a good location on the Rhine River. The location of the Rhineland contributed to the growth of the Ruhr coal-mining district. Under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, the Rhineland had been made into a demilitarized zone. Germany had political control over the area but was not allowed to put troops into it and so the Germans claimed they did not actually fully control the area even though it was a part of Germany itself. The German reoccupation and fortification of the Rhineland was the most significant turning point of the inter-wars. The reoccupation of the Rhineland was Hitler's test to see how far France would go to secure the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Originally, Hitler had ordered to withdraw troops if France decided to attack or take action. But seeing that France did not do anything because they did not want to resort to war, Hitler continued with his plans. After March of 1936, the British and the French could no longer take forceful action against Hitler except by provoking the total war they feared. Germany needed to reoccupy the Rhineland as part of Hitler's plan to remilitarize and helped its people out of the Great Depression. It was also done to stir up nationalistic feelings of the Germans and to show that they were denouncing both the Treaty of Versailles as well as the Locarno Pact. Hitler wanted revenge for his country for being humiliated by world war one and the treaty as well, he had intentions to regain the land and freedom that Germany had lost.

France
The Treaty of Versailles granted the city of Danzig (now Gdańsk) the status of a free city, separated from Germany and Poland, under the protection of the League of Nations. It was to be administered by the League, with special considerations for its ethnic and economic interests.
Basically, German troops set foot in that region and started remilitarizing the Rhineland military, which violated the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Of course, no countries took action since they thought that was the end of any German hostility. Hitler, of course, was at no state to make war with France yet.
Yes.
The Rhineland was is a part of Germany. There is a German state Rhineland-Palatinate. The northern part of this state is the Rhineland and further north, up to the region around cologne is the Rhineland.
The French controlled the The Batavian Republic satellite state, May 1795, and the Prussian Rhineland under the Treaty of Basel.
It violated the Treaty of Versailles. Arguments could be made that it was legal or illegal, with the former being that Germany was still a sovereign state in spite of the treaty.
